Getting to the Nutcracker: This was a very well made and fun documentary. It was fun to see both life in a ballet school and the staging of a large production of the Nutcracker.

Lego: A Brickumentary: This was interesting, I learned about the history and culture of Lego. It was cool but there's also a fair amount of what, for me at least, is nerdy.

Under the Boardwalk: This is a documentary about about the game Monopoly. Did you know the original concept for the game was created by a woman? There's some interesting history, there's also apparently an international Monopoly championship. Who knew.

Midnight in Paris: A friend had recommended this when it first came out but I just now decided to give it a shot. I don't generally like Owen Wilson but he was alright in this. It's kind of a fun movie concept, being able to go back in time and see and meet an era and people that you love and revere. It was hard to watch parts, Wilson's character is in a very unhealthy relationship, I hate to think that there are people in such relationships and thinking about moving forward. Anyway, I don't know that this movie is going to be for everyone but it was enjoyable for me.

 The Man Who Knew Too Much: This is Hitchcock's original and it was interesting. I really think that Hitchcock might have created the action movie genera, I'd have to do research to be definitive. I think I like this better than the remake wit Jimmy Stewart
